New Sailor Moon Nail Polish Set!!

A new Sailor Moon nail polish set was announced today!!! This marks the second item of the “Miracle Romance” cosmetics line. The official product name is “Sailor Moon R Miracle Romance Nail Collection“. These are modeled after the R transformation wands of Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus. There are 5 colours each representing a senshi: pink, blue, red, green and orange. The pink, blue & green are pearl based while the red and orange are solid.

Preorders start June 12, 10am Japan time. Release date is October 2013. Retail price: 5,250円 (around USD $55). Each bottle is 3.5mL. This item is made by Premium Bandai’s cosmetics line, Creer Beaute. As of right now Bandai is only selling to those who live in Japan. You can preorder it here.

There are ways you can order if you’re outside of Japan:

go through a deputy to buy directly from Bandai, you can find my recommended deputy on the left sidebar

not confirmed yet, but chances are CDJapan and Big in Japan will stock this since they stocked the makeup compact

Also I have to note on the ordering page it says “イベントや海外等で販売する可能性がございます。” which means there’s a possibility they’ll sell abroad! This is really exciting and I can’t wait to see what else they come up with! I’m really pleased it comes in a box set with a large clear window for easy displaying! What do you guys think and how many are you getting?!

EDIT (6/11): Due to the alcohol content of the nail polish and it being flammable, this cannot be mailed internationally, except maybe if someone pours them out and empties them for you. I already know of one deputy who rejected orders for this reason.

Normal minis are between 3.5ml and 5ml. (I actually make and sell polish.) So these are pretty much mini size. The price is high. No doubt because of the elaborate bottle design. I love Sailor Moon and these are very cute but I’m not paying that. The price is about double what a normal mini costs.

But we don’t know the quality of the nail polish they’re using. It doesn’t seem to be a collaboration with an established brand, so who knows.
$7-11 can get you good nail polish. I use OPI and Essie mostly. I haven’t seen a big increase in quality when I buy more expensive brands.

I want these and the compact so badly but most likely will never get the chance to own them. The price point is actually not that bad. I actively collect nail polish and limited sets like these are always smaller bottles and around $40-$50 (the ones that come to mind are the designer Disney Princess set).

The website shows them looking kinda like wands. Like the bottle attached to a wand base. Is this what the product will actually look like and they’ll come with an attachable wand base? Or is it just to show that it looks like the wand head? Cuz if they turned into wands I’d have to buy them somehow.
